Are there any laws in any country governing how such equipment is supposed to be decommissioned in case if bankruptcy?

This does not seem to be an isolated case, it just happening more and more with advance of technology.

What are they going to do? Sue the bankrupted company?

It would require setting aside some amount in escrow to be used in proper asset sanitation in case of bankruptcy, or at least sanitation getting some priority in asset liquidation proceeds.
